A company purchased land for $90800 cash. Real estate brokers' commission was $4500 and $6900 was spent for demolishing an old building on the land before construction of a new building could start. Proceeds from salvage of the demolished building was $1000. Under the historical cost principle, the cost of land would be recorded at

 $87,400.00

Explanation:

The cost of land includes all of the cost necessary to bring and make it ready for the intended use. These costs include purchase cost, fees and commission associated with the purchase transaction. Further more, included in the historical cost are the net demolition cost  of old structure to prepare the land for use. Net cost here means cost of demolition less any incidental proceed from the old structure.

However, remember that land is not depreciated because it has an infinite life span.

So using the historical cost principle the cost of the land

= 90,800 + 4,500 + 6,900-1,000

=  $87,400.00

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
